@audphile1 +1, I agree, get the components and the room sorted out first and yes, in the end you get what you pay for.

@prof , your gear is quality stuff, agreed. Hope you can post pics sometime. I would recommend swapping out the Node for the NAD C658 streamer. It is a much better match to the higher level gear you have AND it comes with a microphone and a dsp s...

@axo1989 , your post is very helpful, I like how you test and move, test and move and then DSP is used to fine tune. So sad how many people think DSP is all you need. Its only when you do the speaker positioning and the room that its able to fine ...

@prof how about that we have something in common, the Node. I like the Bluos software and it sounds OK on my desktop. In my main system it isn't a good match. With the DAC you use it should be fine as a streamer though. Have you ever taken any mea... 
Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass?

@milpai , that is an excellent point, I would like to see some "meat on the bone" and if someone wants to talk measurements, post some of your own and then lets talk. I would always try and get the room first, the speaker placement second, the pow... 
Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass?
@jerryg123 , as soon as I read your post something clicked. Use a tube based pre on my desktop system and I think a solid state dac/pre in the HT. I am leaning toward the Mac MB50.  
What is Your End Game System?
@phusis ,wow, that is an end game. I knew those were theater speakers the second I saw the pic and I have seen pics before where members put them behind a screen, built into a wall. Your setup doesn't hide them but has them stand up and salute, ni... 
Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass?
@maxwave , I am clueless in the ways of the tube and had no idea that they were that high maintenance. I will check with the vendors to see what the likely schedule will be and shop for the low maintenance variety. You may have saved my bacon ther...

@holmz , I thought everyone here knew how the virtual systems page works, my bad :). As for measurements, I am not against measurements, I thought posting them would be interesting if we are discussing measurements any way right?

To see a members system  from a thread just click on their handle/name in a post and click "details" in the drop down menu. You will be taken to their profile and if they have posted a system it will be linked right there.

@prof  you are a long time member and I assumed too much, understood. If you look at my profile you will see a list of components I use, pics of my rig, and my room measurements. Would you be so kind to post something similar in your profile? I am...
